UACC Code of Ethics

Our Professional Affiliations

Autograph City were UACC (Universal Autograph Collectors Club) Registered Dealer 273. Due to an issue with a renewal fee reminder not being received, our status lapsed. We are re-applying to the program and given our previous unblemished record are hopeful of being readmitted. In the meantime, we confirm we are happy and proud to continue to comply with a stringent Code of Ethics. We will still apply the Code to all the items that we sell. Regardless of whether you buy an autographs or an animation cel it will come with a lifetime guarantee of authenticity. We must point out that we have never had any problems with the authenticity of any of our items and we have therefore never had a "Disputed Transaction". Nevertheless, the existence of the Code, together with our affiliation to the UACC should give you, the buyer, added peace of mind and security.
